    Ghost S1 build - Wait for Nvidia or not?

    I have the same MB (Aorus X570 I Pro WiFi) with a 3600 in a SFF case (SilverStone Raven RVZ2). TL;DR: The 3600 is very hot so I suggest to go with the best cooler you can fit in your case. At first I used a Noctua L9a and temps were really high. At this moment I’m using an Alpenfohn Black...

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Midiamp, thanks again for your precious inputs! Really appreciated. You’re right, I’m more into vertical cases but I measured the space I have behind my TV and the Ophion Evo will (barely) fit. Vertical will be better but at this point I don’t see any vertical case which is readily available...

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Thanks, these are very insightful comments. Anyway, at this point the best option to me looks like the Ophion Evo in this configuration, albeit I’m not sure it is worth to upgrade: - Ophion Evo + eventually one aluminium side instead of the glass one (on the GPU side) - Top: 240mm Kraken X53 to...

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Thanks, even if this post is more about the case, this is something that I’m willing to try, given you observed no drop in performance. I’m no expert on overclocking. Would you mind to explain me a little how to do this? Do I need to do this in the BIOS on in the AMD app? Which parameters should...

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Thanks, I played a lot with power schemes and I can confirm that using the Power Saving mode reduces significantly the idle/load temps. Anyway with this post I would rather focus on better cases, not on improving my temps in the RVZ02. Regarding the RVZ03,, which I was investigating, a couple...

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    No, there’s not, that’s why I’m thinking about a better cooled case. Moving away the PC is not an option at the moment.

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Thanks, the Ophion Evo looks like an interesting case, albeit double as large than the RVZ02. Two questions here: - Do you know if it is also compatible with SFX PSUs? - In the same form factor, I saw the (much more expensive) Sliger SM580. Any big difference between the two?

    Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

    Hello everyone, I have a SilverStone Raven RVZ02 which I love but I just upgraded the CPU moving from an Intel I5 6600K to an AMD Ryzen 3600 and the chip is getting hotter. I’m using a Black Ridge with a Noctua 120x15 fan on top to keep things as cool as possible, but I’m wondering if...

    Cooling X570 Mobo w/ Alphenfohn Black Ridge

    Hi, I just happened to install a Black Ridge on a Aorus I Pro Wifi. It won’t fit with the stock fan put below the radiator. Anyway, if you have clearance above, it will fit with the fan put on top of the radiator (I put a Noctua 120x15, which is also a better option and it fitted in a...
